Only if logic, reasson, and outrage become obvious and dominant...then the "Cult of Bush" OBL morons will flock here to disrupt and call us Racists...

Oh, we have a NEW one, as you know flashbunny...he's been noted...

“This administration has a sustained track record of ignoring reality when it conflicts with what the corporate interests want it to do,”

That statement certainly stands on it's own. The United States of America was brought into being with a slave class and certainly doesn't seem to be itself without one.

I watched the Presidents speech regarding Immigration control on Americas borders and I found it very stunning that he continues to push for providing So called willing workers a chance to get a job with a willing employer, I guess an employer who refuses to pay an American citizen a decent wage, I also found it stunning that during the speech he made many points and after each point was made you could hear a loud roar of applause. That is until he got to the point of allowing an illegal to come to the States and work for six years than allegedly they would go home and then apply for a green card. That audience was so quiet it sounded like a wake. Only one person was clapping and he didn't clap long.

This point President Bush keeps pushing is bad for this country and it needs to be defeated.

Under the Bush proposal, the estimated 11 million illegal aliens currently in the U.S. would be reclassified as “temporary workers,” and be allowed to remain here for up to six years. In addition, the president and top members of his administration have repeatedly called for the unlimited admission of additional foreign workers in an effort to “match willing workers in other countries with willing employers in this country,” at whatever wages the employer wishes to pay.

Disgusting. For whatever reason, GWB cares more about helping poor Mexicans escape their corrupt country than about his own citizens.

Sheesh... The GOP is finally taking action and all these guys can write is piss and vinegar.

Lets just be polite and offer them Kool Aid, I'm sure they must be thirsty.

He can't be playing to Conservatives with his Guest Worker program. He can't be playing to the left, because there is nothing he can do that will please them short of making Mexico and the United States one country. And, I believe those in the middle lean towards keeping illegals out of our country.

So, that leaves employers who want dirt cheap labor. I'd call it pandering.

If Canadians were flooding across the border illegally; I'd be all for closing our Northern border too. Fortunately, (most) of our Canadian neighbors are self-respecting, hard working, honest and forthright neighbors (even if they tend to be more Liberal than I would like to see).

Now contrast Canada, the Canadian gov't, economy and the cleanliness of their cities and streets with the scum south of the Rio Grande. Drive by Nueavo Laredo, El Paso and look at the filth.

I may be poor, I may someday find myself having to build a home, cottage or village in an under-developed country ... but I can garrantee you that I would never use my main street as a public cess-pool.

The cry of 'rascism' is the cowardly cry from people who are attempting to defend the indefensible.

Let's see how long it takes him to act on all this talk....

I've become convinced that a significant portion of the US economy is, and has always been, based on no-low wage/menial labor. What we're seeing with the current illegal immigration situation is that even if the early settlers hadn't brought in slaves, an underclass would have still emerged on its own. There is simply too much demand for low skills jobs in an economy as dynamic and growth oriented as the US.

The same thing happened when he addressed Congress after proposing the idea in 2004, only a few clapped. Hopefully they still feel the same way because most of us out here in the real world sure do.

So called willing workers a chance to get a job with a willing employer...

Wondering where this "willing worker" stuff comes from? The phrase and the rationalization come from this Cato Institute research paper. It is the one that admits that each illegal costs the taxpayer $89,000 (but that's okay).
